Many thanks Carlos, it is indeed working now, it appears the #define arguments for the lcd display must be included BEFORE the #include <lcd_driver.h>.
Also, there is an error in my #define LCD_ARGS thingy
Thanks Carlos!

Anyone have any ideas? I've tried a load of things such as including the header files in the project, copying the template out into it... I cant find any significant difference between this and the example...
Thanks in advance

Serial Tx/Rx In Bitbanged and UART mode
I2C Tx/Rx bitbanged (and in hw if available)
1 Wire Tx/Rx bitbanged (and hw if available)
LCD Interface (HD44780 & Nokia)
EEPROM (internal/external)
I think they would be pretty cool... I know there is code there already for a lot of it, but I think some of the documentation could be improved on it... also, any other examples, maybe tying some of them together would be cool...
I think a beneficial addition would be a site, or sub-section of the main sourceboost page in which people could showcase or describe their projects would allow for a lot of interesting code to be published and documented...

I have been trying to get the LCD Driver routines working on the PIC16F684 (Which is properly defined in the project file) however, when executing the lcd_setup(), lcd_clear() and lprintf() functions I get errors, the lcd_driver.h file is definitely included. I have also checked the lcd sample project to ensure I wasnt missing any other header or library files from the project, I dont believe I am...
The code I am using is:
/*
BoostC HD44780 Interface
*/
#include <system.h>
#include <lcd_driver.h>
//#prgama CLOCK_FREQ 8000000
#pragma DATA _CONFIG, _BOD_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _WDT_OFF & 0x3FFC & _HS_OSC & _CP_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _FCMEN_OFF & _CPD_OFF

void main(void){
cmcon0 = 0; //DISABLE COMPARATORS
adcon1 = 14;
porta = 0; //CLEAR PORTA
portc = 0; //CLEAR PORTC
//char myString[5] = ['G', 'u', 'e', 's', '7']; //THE STRING TO BE OUTPUT
int i;
lcd_setup(); //ENSURE EVERYTHING IS READY FOR THE LCD
lcd_clear(); //CLEAR THE LCD
for(i=0; i<=4; i++) { //LOOP THROUGH THE ELEMENTS IN THE ARRAY
lprintf("Gues7"); //AND PRINT THEM TO THE LCD
}//rof
while(1);
}//naim
And the errors I receive are:
At the minute, I am just trying to learn all og the functions of the BoostC libraries so in the event of having to use them, I can do it in a snap, any help on the matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Also... just an FYI for Dave, I got an error regarding _INTRC_OSC_NOCLK when I was using it in my device configuration... so I read the value out of the header file and that works without a problem... it seems the compiler had not got _INTRC_OSC_NOCLK defined, although it IS in the header file, and it IS spelled correctly (first thing I checked)
